V79.4Driver of bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident

V79.4 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for driver of bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident. It belongs to category V79 (bus occupant injured in other and unspecified transport accidents), block V70-V79 (bus occupant injured in transport accident) and chapter 20 (external causes of morbidity). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 2 subcodes must be used instead.

Within V79, choose V79.4 (Driver of bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: driver of bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V79.0), passenger on bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V79.1), unspecified bus occupant injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in nontraffic accident (V79.2), bus occupant (driver) (passenger) injured in unspecified nontraffic accident (V79.3), passenger on bus injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V79.5), unspecified bus occupant injured in collision with other and unspecified motor vehicles in traffic accident (V79.6), bus occupant (driver) (passenger) injured in other specified transport accidents (V79.8) and bus occupant (driver) (passenger) injured in unspecified traffic accident (V79.9).

Codes in this range require a 7th character: A for initial encounter, D for subsequent encounter and S for sequela. Use placeholder "X" characters to fill any empty positions before the 7th character.

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
